Default drag harrow vs disc
I want a tiller bad but in my area older cubs are pretty much nonexistent and attachments are even harder to find. While I look I am curious what the best way to prepare a seed bed is after plowing. I have a disc harrow but I am not so sure a drag wouldn't produce a better seed bed... Thoughts?

discing after plowing helps to break up the soil and compacts it to some extent. a disc fits ground well enough for corn planting. A spring or spike harrow is generally used after discing, especially on sod . The harrpows set deep pull up sod clods to help dry them and break them up further, set shallow they produce a finer seed bed for small grains, etc. Both is best but either may suffice in the right conditions. I would like to come across, or make, a cub sized cultipacker.

I know it is not as much fun, but, I "no till" garden.

Just plant and cover everything that is not a garden plant in mulch.

We also save our newspapers to put under the mulch.



I still have the Cubs, but, just for fun, not gardening!!

The Cubs get to haul the mulch.

No till doesn't so much bother me but I plant about a 1/2 acre so covering it with mulch would get alittle costly. My grandfather has a 5030 ford tractor with rototiller but I would like to use the cub just because it's cool, in the end I will probably end up using the ford to prepare and plant and just use the cub to keep it cultivated.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
